Benefit: You may now add all your Strength modifier (if positive) to the ability score damage you deal with a maiming strike. Additionally, when you score a critical hit with a maiming strike, your target may be crippled for life. Every day, when he would normally regain 1 point of lost ability score, your victim must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 10 + half your fighter level + your Strength modifier) or lose the point from the ability score permanently.

Special: In addition to the normal feat slot, a fighter must spend 1,500 XP and 6 weeks in training in order to learn this feat. A fighter who spends 2,500 XP and 12 weeks in training, may increase the DC of the Fortitude saving throw by twice his Strength modifier. A fighter who spends 4,000 XP and 20 weeks in training, automatically deals at least one point of temporary ability score damage.
